They do not provide and personal information on the donors. The most active Trustee in the Keys charity, in fact the founder, is a classical pianist who performs professionally around the world. In 2024 he gave 32 performances globally while also actively visiting our charity's six international project sites. While he is an extremely fine gentleman, when he is traveling, I have difficulty obtaing the required information in a timely matter. Is that a "Resonable Cause" for being two weeks late? I can only plead for your mercy and understanding. The reality is I should not have anticipated his meeting the deadline and should have filed for an extension. I accept that aspect as totally my fault. I assure you I will make every effort to see this mistake does not occur again. Thank you for your consideration. JRT
